Apple owes Steve Jobs some money: $37.91

Steve Jobs has some unclaimed property, ranging from unclaimed wages at Apple to shares of IBM and Time Warner as well as unclaimed annuity and insurance checks.

Apple's chief executive probably isn't hurting for it, but the billionaire has a $37.91 check due from the company he manages, according to the State of California's unclaimed property search website.

There's also $0.20 worth of dividends from Time Warner waiting for Jobs, along with two shares of IBM and one share of Time Warner. IBM also owes Jobs unclaimed income, although the total is only around $35.

There are also a few hundred dollars in insurance and annuity checks that Jobs has yet to claim.

The extent of Jobs' unclaimed riches is detailed for the public thanks to California's Unclaimed Property Law, which "requires corporations, businesses, associations, financial institutions, and insurance companies to annually report and deliver property to the California State Controller's Office after there has been no activity on the account or contact with the owner for a period of time specified in the law - generally three years or more."

To claim his property, Jobs only needs to file paperwork with the state, which can now be done online.

Apple Inc. must not have tried to hard to find the people they owe money to. If my employer owes me money, they send me a check via interoffice mail. It would suck if I had to prowl public databases to find it.

The webpage does not say since when the amount is owed. If Steve did not cash the check for a specified period of time after it was sent to him, Apple has a legal obligation to turn the money over to the state. Oh yes the state gets to make interest on the money and Steve and Apple both loose.

I just don't believe it. Is nothing sacred? Could somebody please tell me, why oh why, this information has any relationship with what we, the sane and the sensible, consider to be news. My opinion of journalists often gets fairly low, but this is an all-time record. Even Steve Jobs is entitled to some privacy, to try to justify the publication of this rubbish is an impossible task.

You know, SerialTroll, if you donated the time you spend on AI, under an endless string of banned aliases, making inane comments and playing the fool, to a worthwhile cause, instead of using it for the pointless and selfish purpose of obtaining whatever twisted gratification it is you seek by your behavior here, you might actually be able to make a positive contribution to the world, instead of wasting your life being a jerk.

Searching for famous names among those owed in California's unclaimed property list has been a parlor game for many years, especially since it went online. Lots of deceased celebrities turn up in the list.
